dhrmabum Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Jeez, I was there on Sun. as well. Spectacular. My first time there, but not my last. I had intended to climb it, but. . partied a little late the night before, so slept in a bit late, etc. Ended up being satisfied with hanging out at the lake, eating and lounging with two french beauties. . . Heavenly indeed. Hmmm, I think we may have run into you three on the way out. Unless there were more than 2 cute ladies with foreign accents lounging at the lake (why do I climb and not backpack???) Ha! Maybe so, were you two guys carrying pretty good-sized packs? I've got a couple similar pics of the peak, btw. And, far as I know, I think they were the only women around with foreign accents. . Yeah, though I was tempted to carry on with my original climbing plan, staring up at the route and the enticing peak, I was pretty happy with the choice to lounge on that sun-warmed granite and be dazzled by the beauty around me. .

KaskadskyjKozak Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Ha! Maybe so, were you two guys carrying pretty good-sized packs? I've got a couple similar pics of the peak, btw. And, far as I know, I think they were the only women around with foreign accents. Yes. We abandoned our primary plan and did a carryover with full packs over Colchuck. I think you were the smarter man this w/e. Quote

I think you were the smarter man this w/e. Yeah, cool, I remember talking with you. . Me, I just went with the flow; if I hadn't have met up with them, I surely would've went through my own sufferfest(given the night before and the resulting low energy), on Colchuck. Hiking and staying with them at the lake was the easy choice. Quote
wdietsch Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 thanks for the update gents. Anyone go in from Snow Lakes this past weekend? Quote
mhux Posted July 25, 2012 Author Posted July 25, 2012 Sorry to revive this thread (especially since there's a duplicate) but- can I descend Aasgard in sneakers yet? Trying to avoid bringing crampons/boots for a Dragontail climb... thanks in advance! Quote
dkatz12090 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I've got the same question! Anyone up there this weekend with a report. Would love to just go with the tennis shoes as compared to boots/crampons, etc! Quote
unklehuck Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) Climbed Dragontail yesterday - no problem crossing the snowfield to access the route in tennies. Trekking poles/Axe/stick would keep it cruiser. Good glissading on soft snow off the back. Trail is clear all the way to the top of Aasgard Pass. Edited July 26, 2012 by unklehuck Quote
aclark20 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 As of last weekend, you could get to the top of Aasgard without touching snow. Quote
